Laying the Groundwork

Our acquisition strategy focuses on identifying opportunities where we can add value, such as through unit upgrades, major capital projects including green initiatives, new management, and new capitalization. We typically seek properties that are:

Class B or better

1985s vintage or newer

Garden-style communities in infill locations, which tend to have high barriers to new development

Located in U.S. markets with strengthening long-term employment and population trends

Able to be purchased with intermediate to long-term financing, with leverage up to 75% loan-to-value

How It Works

We begin each investor relationship by first understanding your individual investment objectives. To invest with HZ, you must be an accredited investor.

Review Your Objectives

During an initial meeting or call, we give you a thorough overview of our company, investment portfolio, and available investment opportunities and evaluate the suitability of this investment for your immediate goals.

Make an Investment

When you invest, we will coordinate your acquisition paperwork and funding. Our investment offerings can vary from a private standalone investment to a multi-property portfolio investment or multi-property fund. We are not paid commissions, so there is never any sales pressure.
